Hud Foreclosure Sales

Question: What's a HUD case mean for a house listing?

I found a house listed for sale online and it says it's a HUD case, does that mean it's really crappy inside? Or does that mean it's owned by HUD as opposed to a bank like a foreclosure? How does a house become a HUD house?

Answer: HUD offers an insurance program which covers any losses by a bank when that bank issues a HUD loan. HUD does not loan anyone any money. They are an "insurance" policy. The buyer of the home paid the fee for that policy when she bought the house.
Your house is owned by HUD. HUD paid off the bank and took title. Now they are selling it. It will be sold "as-is". You can look inside the house since it is up for sale. You make your offer assuming that everything does not work. Most of their houses have a minimum bid .... often in the listing.

When you first decide to purchase yourself a home the last thing on your mind is the possibility that something could go wrong for you in the future and make it difficult for you to keep up with your mortgage payments. Before you even realize just how bad things have got those dreaded foreclosure threats could start rolling in.

All home owners should take some time to consider this because nobody knows what could happen in the future that may make paying your bills difficult. Being unable to make your monthly mortgage payments does not mean that you are a bad person or irresponsible and don't care. Sometimes people have accidents or lose their jobs that can cause them a massive financial setback.

Of course nobody ever sets out not to have enough money to pay their bills but this sort of thing can just seem to happen at times. Even people that you would normally think would never have such problems could fall foul to some unforeseen event in their lives. Unfortunately this does happen and if it does happen to you then it doesn't automatically mean that you are going to lose your home. There are still quite a few things that you can do that could save your from having to spend time dealing with foreclosure threats rolling in.

Do not assume that everything is completely under control and no matter what you will always be fine. None of us know what is lurking around the corner for us and if something terrible does happen you could end up having to spend a lot of money leaving you short when it comes to being able to pay your bills. If something bad does happen and you just try to ignore that fact it won't just go away by itself.

Once you have been threatened with foreclosure that threat will stay with you and there might not be a single thing you can do about it. If you manage to stop things before they get that far then you might still be in with a fighting chance to save the home that you worked so hard to buy in the first place.

The best course of action to take is to phone your mortgage company and if you can come to some agreement with them to pay your missed mortgage payments back. They could even give you a set date to pay your arrears back by and if you manage it by then you could even be rewarded with a discount. Pay a visit to your lender's website to find out more about getting hold of a professional that can talk to you about your situation and offer you a solution. Remember that anybody can fall behind on their mortgage payments through no real fault of their own so don't be ashamed about it and start talking to people about it today.

Question: Florida Tax Lien certificate not paid after 2 year redemption period?

I purchased a Florida tax lien certificate in 2005...The redemption period ended after 2 years & it hasn't been redeemed.I found out I have up to 7 years to foreclose but need to go to County Clerk pay $200 & file for foreclosure...and then it goes into a Tax deed sale. Before I do that... my question is, what is the chance of getting the property? Property has 2 mortgages...Do the banks come & outbid & win property at auction? Is there a secondary market whereby I can sell this tax lien certificate wihtout going to tax deed auction.If I was to foreclose & win at Tax deed auction will I be responsible for other debts from previous owner? What is best course of action? Thx

Answer: When you foreclose on the tax lien the lender will lose their security interest if they don't jump in and buy it from you. Unless you're looking at a worthless toilet of a property that's not very likely to happen. A tax foreclosure extinguishes any other liens on the property so you would not owe them if the lender(s) didn't step in and buy the lien from you.
